Just For Fun: 10 Contradictory Road Signs

I'm tired this morning, so I'm keeping it simple. I've done "signs" posts before, but to my knowledge I've never posted any of these. You may get a few chuckles out of them. Or not. Either way, here they are. Happy Monday?

Brain implosion in 3...2...1...

Okay, so it's not technically a road sign. But

it's funny and fits the theme, so there ya go...

Then what are you supposed to do?

Just sit around and talk about hunting?

Alive or newly dead? Which is it? 

Maybe undead? Zombie chickens?

 Hey, they never said it was 24 hours in a row!

I think I'm going to need it!

If you're going to break the rules anyway,

at least abide by the other rule. Thank you!

Okie doke, I'll just stay right where I am...

What "other times" are left?

This probably explains the dents in the signs...

10 Short Poems For Sandy Hook

All in a matter
Of minutes
They went
From education
To execution
From learning
To bleeding
From here
To gone.
Too soon.


But the questions
That we had at first
We'll still have
For years to come.
No reason
Is good enough.
No motive
Is strong enough.
No answer
Is clear enough.
But it happened
Nonetheless.


Call on God
To heal your heart
He's still there
He hasn't left.
Tears and prayers
Don't hit the stairs
And bounce back
Off your chest.


Days like these
Make us long
For the next life
One where there's
No death
No pain
No tears.
In the meantime
We do the best
We can to fathom
The unthinkable.


Every time I hear the news
Another shooting here or there
I try to put myself in their shoes
Feel as they feel, care as they care.
This time it was not so hard
(A father soon I'm going to be)
I can imagine how they felt
Looking for their babies.
Awaiting word that they've been found
Wanting to believe that they're alright
Identifying all that's left
Of all too young a precious life.


Find a place
In your heart
To forgive
It's a start
It will take
Time to heal
But I believe
Someday you will.


In the shadow
Of the valley
As the angry
Tears flow down
He is with you
Arms around you
There to catch you
If you go down.


My heart goes out
To those whose light
Has dimmed.
A gentle soul
(Young or old)
Has passed from
Their midst and
All that's left
Is emptiness.
I can only imagine.


The numbers are staggering
Outrage is overwhelming
Fears are mounting
Copycats are preparing
This world is frightening
But one thing is comforting
When silence is deafening
God's still in control.


There are no words
Only beating fists
Tight embraces
And bitter tears.
Later the words will come
And they will not be nice.
But perhaps one day
Forgiveness.

Words I Wish I Wrote: The Wit And Wisdom Of Charles Schulz

Anyone who knows me even a little bit already knows I'm a huge fan of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the whole Peanuts gang. I'm also a collector of Peanuts memorabilia. Lately, I've been going back and re-reading a lot of the comic strip collections that I own. Doing so has reminded me time and time again that Peanuts is not just humorous, it's also packed full of wisdom and life lessons. Some things I've culled from these comics are simple, everyday truths, while others are amazingly profound and thought-provoking. Here's a smattering of nuggets of wit and wisdom from the greatest cartoonist who ever lived (is that really up for debate?) with accompanying images of the beloved Peanuts characters who originally "spoke" these words. Enjoy!

1)  "I need plenty of rest in case tomorrow is a great day. It probably won't be, but if it is, I'll be ready!"

2)  "Yesterday I was almost happy. For one brief moment I thought I was winning in the game of life. But there was a flag on the play."

3)  "Subtraction is the awful feeling that you know less today than you did yesterday."

7)  "When no one loves you, you have to pretend that everyone loves you."

8)  "When you're depressed, it helps to lean your head on your arm and stare into space – if you're unusually depressed, you may have to change arms."

9)  "As soon as I get up in the morning, I feel like I'm in over my head."

10)  "If no one answers the phone, dial louder."

11)  "Never lie in bed at night asking yourself questions you can't answer." 

12)  "There's nothing more embarrassing than barking up the wrong tree!"

13)  "There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker."

14)  "Life is easier if you only dread one day at a time."
